Paragraph moved from article
- Bird Week is a very educational and informative game for a video game released for an 8-bit console. Although no facts are shown, the player learns the typical life of a bird by doing and listening to the serene and peaceful music. The educational factor alone is enough to make it unisex, bird watchers can relax from their hobby by playing as a bird for a change. Due to the game simplistic design, it tends to be repetitive (symbolizing the tendency of a non-sentient creature to keep developing offspring, feeding them, watching them leave the nest, and the cycle repeats ad infiniteum until either the bird dies or the unsuspecting player gets bored - as in the case of the more thrill seeking game player who will receive a rude surprise when they try this game).
I think this needs to be rewritten to be more encyclopedic. - furrykef (Talk at me) 10:37, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
"Healthy Option Dane"
- In 2010, Healthy Option Dane, a jazz-influenced band from Burlington, Vermont, released a Bird Week-themed live performance music video. Footage from the game is included in the video.
I hardly think a link to an amateur music video on Youtube with 108 views that marginally features the game is notable enough to mention in the article, let alone first paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.225.153.161 (talk) 03:07, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Healthy Option Dane
It wasn't originally in the first paragraph...I don't see why it couldn't be in the "cultural influences section" that it originally was in.....I mean, yes it is an obscure music video, but the game itself is obscure. And it is indeed true information, that was properly sourced/referenced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.13.44.178 (talk) 18:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Stop removing the Healthy Option Dane info
According to this page: http://stats.grok.se/en/201003/Bird_Week , this Bird Week article only gets an average of about 600 hits per month. If the Healthy Option Dane Bird Week music video has a hundred or so hits after being up for about a month, then it is only six times less "notable" than the Bird Week article/game itself! Not only that, but if you google "Bird Week," the fourth result is for the Healthy Option Dane video (the first being the wiki page itself).
So the question as to whether the info is "notable" or not is absurd and overly subjective. Of course it is notable, about as notable as Bird Week itself! If the Healthy Option Dane video is going to be considered "not notable," then you'll also have to delete the entire article. Yes, the band is obscure, but the game is obscure too!!
If you are going to remove the information, please explain what criteria (i.e. at what point of "notable-ness" do you decide something can stay on wikipedia or not?) you are using to arrive at what is notable vs. not notable. Specifically, how many hits per month does something have to have to qualify as notable? The bottom line is that the information on the Bird Week video by Healthy Option Dane is properly sourced/referenced, is plausibly related to the game, and there is really no need to remove this information. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.74.239 (talk) 00:57, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
